Rob Zombie recently revealed that Elvira, Mistress Of The Dark herself will be appearing in his big-screen adaptation of The Munsters… but now, she has explained that it’s not exactly what you’d expect from this collaboration between the two horror icons.
“Here, I am playing this character that’s so so different from what I normally do,” Cassandra Peterson (Elvira’s real name) tells Variety. “I’m playing a super straight character.”
Gone is the low-cut, slinky dress, big black bouffant hairdo, and over-the-top makeup, instead, in this official set photo, Peterson dons a short red wig and a more demure two-piece pink suit for her role as Barbara Carr, “the #1 real estate agent in all of Mockingbird Heights.”
